Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

St. Jude Medical developed the Merlin.net™ Patient Care Network (Merlin.net™ PCN) to augment or replace routine scheduled in-clinic visits.

This investigation is designed with the hypothesis that detection of events (system integrity and diagnostic related) through Direct Alerts™ via Remote Monitoring allow clinicians an earlier opportunity to address and resolve events and may therefore improve patient care.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Direct Alerts ON

Direct Alerts in implantable device were turned on

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Implantation of an ICD/CRT-D device

Intervention Type DEVICE

The Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) or Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT-D) device and leads are not the devices being evaluated in this investigation.
